Re: Genre/Gender
Female, middle-aged, wide-ranging and eclectic reading tastes. Right now reading non-fiction science (astrobiology, discovery of exoplanets, basic biology, genetics, aging/death/life extension, to name a few) for research for my science fiction. And some "how to write science fiction" books, too. Ev...

Re: Any Catholic Science Fiction readers/writers here?
Hope you had a merry Christmas, Asp & Sancta!
I see that the world did not end on the 21st!
So I can continue with planning my novel. Also note to self to watch the movies you recommended. Happy New Year!

Re: The Big Bang Theory (TV show)
I only found out about the show this year but I've caught up on most back episodes via reruns on Fox or my friend's DVD season sets. Love the nerd humor.
Sheldon is Batman and don't you dare sit in his SPOT!

Re: Any Catholic Science Fiction readers/writers here?
Thanks Sancta Futura, for the link; it was very interesting. :) I must confess I haven't seen any of the "Alien" movies because they seemed too much in the horror genre and I thought they'd be too scary :shock: but I may need to go back and watch them now and then Prometheus. This dovetails in a str...

Re: Any Catholic Science Fiction readers/writers here?
Hi - I'm back - Asp and Sancta both make points that have definitely crossed my mind as I plan the "theo-history" (?) of my alien race.In one way or another most all science fiction addresses human ethical dilemmas (good vs. evil, free will/determinism, etc.) regardless of what religious or spiritua...

Re: Any Catholic Science Fiction readers/writers here?
Hi again, SanctaFutura! My novel is based on the following premise - aliens who went so far as to develop interstellar travel without having committed Original Sin. They would have evolved and gone through a pre-ensouled period of time, where their competitive or aggressive acts didn't "count agains...

Did Science Fiction Predict This?
This is a thread like the one about "Science Fiction Predictions That Came True" only with a slightly different twist. Think of some technology that science fiction writers didn't come up with but that is now in common use: Touchscreens is one that comes to mind. Apparently the history of their exis...

Re: Any Catholic Science Fiction readers/writers here?
Oh, yay! This thread lives! :cheers: Nice to make your acquaintance, SanctaFutura! I'm plugging away on my Catholic-themed NaNoWriMo science fiction novel. I got pretty behind, so don't know if I'll make the 50,000 word goal by November 30th or not. I've been to the scificatholic blog and I do like ...

Re: Anyone doing NaNoWriMo?
So how are things going with NaNo Science Fiction, anyone? :) Mine is slow - November is never a good month - I did better with August Camp NaNoWriMo. That was a more "mainstream fiction" manuscript. But I set it aside and took September and October to gear up for this month - did lots of scientific...

Re: I think I want aliens that are sort of humanoid in my no
I think I'm getting my aliens close to the form I want them to be. :alien: (Not like this fellow, LOL!) My inspiration came from a head-on picture of a chick embryo, of all things. I wanted the aliens to be sort of appealing - almost cute but not silly-cute. Anyway, when I took the chick embryo pict...

Re: Anyone doing NaNoWriMo?
Are you doing the tech manual for your NaNoWriMo? As a NaNo Rebel?
Or that and a NaNo novel separately?
